Welcome to another edition of our trivia challenge, where we test your knowledge of all things fly fishing and where you might learn a thing or two about this sport we love. This one’s a new quiz, featuring 10 questions on fly identification.
The last quiz was another back-breaker, apparently, for there were NO perfect scores. Although, it must be noted that the lone 90% score, by Rob Kirsch, could have been a 100% had he not misclicked. (Of course, I’m taking him on his word here.)
The randomly chosen winner of this week’s quiz will receive a super-cool, not-yet-available Helios 2 Buff. (See below) The last of our book winners (as determined by random.org) was Shawn, who failed on the quiz, but succeeded in winning a prize anyway.
So, take this week’s quiz, and no matter how well or poorly you do, post your score in the comments below to be eligible to win Tom’s book with his inspirational words on the title page.
Good luck!
